As the mega-drought continues and both Lake Mead and Lake Powell approach dead pool, all seven states that rely on the Colorado River, including Arizona, face dramatically reduced water supplies. One possible outcome, noted by Tony Davis in the Arizona Daily Star : the price per gallon of Colorado River water could rise as much as 62% by 2028.
Where do we come in? Tucson Water is seeking public input to help shape priorities for water use and infrastructure development. Their online survey, available at tucsononewater.com, seeks customer input on a variety of options, open through Jan. 31. Everyone knows how important water is for the quality of life that we have come to enjoy, and how limited it is in the desert. Potential solutions to the current crisis are diverse and often complex. Our non-profit, Sustainable Tucson, has reviewed the survey and composed an Information Sheet with background and additional information about each strategy. The sheet, available at sustainabletucson.org, also provides links to additional resources to assist in making informed decisions.
